Best Answer

There are clear references to Shakespeare's King Lear, although these allusions are not what the poem is about. The poem is a symbolic representation of a descent into madness, rather than about one man's descent. Read King Lear and you'll see very clearly the allusions to the play.

What is the message of the poem tree by joyce kilmer?

A song called "Trees" published in 1922 has these credits: words - Joyce Kilmer, music - Oscar Rasbach. Although, the ASCAP Song Database now lists the composers as Joyce Kilmer and Mark Andrews. I know of only one instance of it being recorded, and that is on a Capitol records album out of the 1960s called, "Zounds! What Sounds!" Dean Elliot plays tunes on the album with a variety of sound effects. Some sound effects accent the melody, provide rhythm, or are added for comic effect. The tune, "Trees," is played very nicely with a medium tempo with sound effects of trees being sawed, chopped and falling over. At one point a dog howls probably over the loss of a tree. I'd add an mp3 copy of it here, but it might not be allowed for different reasons. _____________________________________________________________ There's versions recorded by Nelson Eddy, Paul Robeson, and Robert Merrill. Each is probably more to what you are looking for and doesn't have chopping, sawing, or dogs barking. Each of these versions can be found on iTunes, Amazon, or any number of other places.
